Rescuers and locals are struggling to try and save a pod of beached whales which became trapped in a mangrove swamp during low tide.
The sun rises in Morocco Saturday during the nerve-wracking final stages of a massive rescue operation to free Rayan, a five-year-old boy trapped down a well since Tuesday. The complex and risky earth-moving operation has gripped residents of the North African kingdom and even sparked sympathy in neighbouring Algeria, a regional rival. Rayan fell some 32 metres (100 feet) down the empty shaft in the remote village of Ighrane in Chefchaouen province on Tuesday afternoon. IMAGES
